Version 0.30. 9. June 2001
- A date-option for filename guesses has been
added. It can be accessed with __date__.
The format of the date is set via the
new rc-file-option: dateformat. The format
is entered via the ANSI C decription. Default
is %x for the English rc-files and %d.%m.%y for
the German and Spanish ones.
ATTENTION: This means that you should update
your config-file!
- I adopted the names of my user-levels to gnome's settings.
The old names persist. You can call them beginner, novice,
intermediate, normal, advanced, expert and 0,1,2 now.
- A standard-function for yes, no, true, false etc. in the
rc-file and options has been defined.
- I made the annoying clauses disappear from the buttons.
They are replaced by '...'. When you select them, the
clause is copied to the entry. I think that is a must.
- Split up of the file TODO. The bugs are now in
the file BUGS.
- A documentation has been written. But the topic
is not really exhausted.
- If you browse for a filename, the browsing starts in the
filename_guess_path
- The expertlevel-gui has been resized.
It should fit on a normal screen now.
- Restructured install- and uninstall-file.
- The rc-fields mydvipdf, mydvips, myeditor, mylatex,
myprintcommand and myxdvi have support for the
variables __filename__ and __short_filename__.
The latter means the filename without the suffix.
ATTENTION: The rc-file has to be updated to match these new features.
- 'Estimado/a'-opening added to Spanish rc-file.
- Addressformat in .gtex-letterrc.english updated.
The zip moved to a place at the end of the line and
other minor changes in the addressformat.
- A bug in the handling of the addressbook reported
by Kenneth N. Flaxman was solved.
Version 0.21. 25. Mar. 2001
- gtex-letter is ready for translation. So far, a German
translation is included in the distribution.
- A Spanish rc-file has been included in the distribution.
- The code has been enhanced with Exceptions and error handling.
- opening-entry was limited to 64 chars. It's 1024 now.
- the splash screen was enhanced with the version and the
gui-level.
Version 0.20. 4. Mar. 2001
- Support for serial letters.
- Simpler examples of letter-headers.
- German letter-header 'g-brief' added.
Version 0.14. 15. Feb. 2001
- the programm can now 'guess' filenames. The format
of the filename to be choosen can be configured.
- usage-message (gtex-letter -u) restructured
- configuration of addressformats in the config-file.
(the .gtex-letterrc has a new block of options
called addressformat.0 etc. please update you rc-file)
- There is an enhancement of the format for the
defaultvalues for openings and closings. This is
for writers, that compose letters in a language, where
the opening/closing depends on the sex of the addressee.
Check README for more infos. (This code is quite
experimental. Please check it out and get back to
me.)
- Only addresscards with a postal address are displayed.
Telephone goes as an address too in this matter.
- Startup-option quitelatex.
- An import and a save-button for the Contents-field.
- Advertise line for the LaTeX-File. (It can be suppressed)
- Renamed the main-module
- Handful of bugs. In special 'files/dirs not found'
and similar things.
Version 0.13. 6. Feb. 2001
- piping of text/address into gtex-letter
- no-splash-screen - option
- multiple addressbook-files
- The addressbook ist no sortable; ascending and descending
by clicking on the column title.
- Select an address by double-clicking.
Version 0.12: 3. Feb. 2001
- You can now choose from three different complexity levels
of the gui: novice, intermediate, expert. Novice is easy
to understand, expert is all in one big page.
(Attention: This affects the .gtex-letterrc-file as
well. There is a new option called 'guilevel'. You should
adopt your old rc-file.
- i moved some code around
- autoletters (non-interactive letter generation):
this is done via 'nogui'-option. You just supply enough
info on the command-line and gtex-letter gets it all
done for you. Optionally, letters can be printed without
showing them first.
Version 0.11: 31. Jan. 2001
- support for subject implemented (in the standard letter-class,
there is no subject. I implemented in in the LaTeX-Code in
.gtex-letterrc. It looks very ugly.
- proper searching for the rc-file (cwd, home, install-dir)
and other files as well
- new logo-pix
- support for following addressbook-fields: middlename,
suffix, post_office, region
- a lot more startup options
- Cleanup of code.
Version 0.1: 29. Jan. 2001
- This is an unstable first release. It works
for me but this might be luck... I hope to
get feedback after the initial release.
